Overview
Olivia Garden is a Belgian brand founded in 1967 that manufactures professional salon tools including shears, brushes, and accessories. The company’s US operations are headquartered in Antioch, California. While Olivia Garden is probably best known among American stylists for their brushes and combs, they also produce a line of professional cutting and thinning shears.
Product Range
The brand offers cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. Their shear line covers multiple price points, from entry-level options for students to more advanced models for experienced stylists. Olivia Garden positions their shears alongside their broader catalog of professional styling tools, giving stylists the option to source multiple tool types from one manufacturer.
Distribution
In the US, Olivia Garden shears are available through SalonCentric (one of the largest professional distributor networks in the country) and through the brand’s own online store at store.oliviagarden.com. That SalonCentric relationship means many salon professionals already have access to the brand through their existing supply chain. The brand’s broader tool catalog (brushes, clips, accessories) is widely carried by professional beauty supply retailers.
Company Background
Olivia Garden was founded in Belgium in 1967. The US division operates out of Antioch, California. The company has built its reputation primarily in the brush and styling tool market before expanding into shears. For American stylists, the brand offers the convenience of ordering shears from a company they may already know through other tool purchases.
